word disability injury impairment

00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:10.920
illness condition disabilities may be

00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:12.990
visible such as a person with a cane to

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:15.990
navigate vision loss a person in a

who experiences anxiety or has a

learning disability you may have a

00:00:20.369 --> 00:00:23.880
disability or know someone who does our

00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:25.670
understanding of disabilities is

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:27.810
evolving barriers to accessibility

00:00:25.670 --> 00:00:29.670
prevent people with disabilities from

00:00:27.810 --> 00:00:31.189

economic life of our communities

barriers can include physical barriers

00:00:34.370 --> 00:00:40.190
information and communications barriers

00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:42.540
systemic barriers attitudinal barriers

00:00:40.190 --> 00:00:45.149
having a disability is not a barrier

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:46.410
however but given what context may

00:00:45.149 --> 00:00:49.379
present barriers to people with

00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:50.969
disabilities for example a person with

00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:53.070
social anxiety does not experience a

00:00:50.969 --> 00:00:54.270
barrier when working independently but

00:00:53.070 --> 00:00:57.090
does when require to do a presentation

00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:59.730
for a meeting in some contexts a

00:00:57.090 --> 00:01:01.680
disability can be a great strength for

00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:04.019
example a person on the autism spectrum

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.900
may be able to maintain extreme focus

00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:08.250
and attention to detail by completing

00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:10.290
this module you will gain a better

00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:11.909
understanding of the issues and an

00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:13.020
appreciation for how everyone can

00:01:11.909 --> 00:01:15.740
contribute to achieving the

organization's goals
